95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck: Smith started his winemaking career in Santa Barbara and maintains a connection through the 2023 Chardonnay Spear Vineyard, a mountainous site at 600- to 900-feet elevation, planted in 2014. Capturing its saline minerality and profound florality, it smells and tastes of wild chamomile, with rounded apricot, crème caramel, and vanilla fleshing out its smooth, light to medium-bodied edges. Age through 2033.
